The Arts-Muse Fair

Iklima Babangida's new collection titled 'Diversity in Colors', tells Kaduna's story of inclusion, community and unity in its diversity.  The fashion in Kaduna is a living testament to the cultural richness that defines the city, reflecting a harmonious blend of various ethnicities. Though the city has been wooed by forces of division for decades, the determination in the eyes of merchants at bustling markets, the vibrant colors in the marketplace, the art on the bridges and flyovers, and the colors of burning homes, buried bodies,and dreams in Kaduna mirror the resilience of a city that thrives amidst challenges.
